The Lied Discovery Children’s Museum first opened to the public in September 1990 and has since become Las Vegas’s major educational institution, having served more than 1.5 million children and their families and over 350,000 children with school field trip programs and tours designed to supplement school curriculum.

What sets it apart from other more traditional museums are the hands-on exhibits in the arts, sciences and humanities, a Traveling Exhibition Gallery, an Early Childhood Pavilion, and an eight-story Science Tower in 22,000 square feet of exhibit space. It has also been voted Best Museum in Las Vegas by the readers of the Las Vegas Review Journal for 13 straight years.

The museum’s newest exhibition begins tomorrow, January 19, with “Cool Moves” which will feature 14 new interactive exhibits that allow visitors to experience the motion all around us. A members-only event (with refreshments) will take place first thing in the morning from 8:30am-10am, and visitors will get to experience the exhibit before the museum opens it to the public.
